Popular universal iOS journal app My Wonderful Days has been given an update, adding several notable features.

First and foremost is the ability for users to now add videos to their multimedia journals — either shooting one themselves, or else adding an existing video from their iOS device’s library.

There’s also the addition of being able to include up to five photos in one journal entry, a new Gallery View that lets you look through your photos and videos by swiping, and a tweaked Automatic Backup feature to allow more efficient storage management without losing auto backup.

The developers also promise “lots of other improvements,” although these are unspecified in the iTunes description.

While there are a plethora of journal apps out there, My Wonderful Days is one of the most popular, and has a number of neat features and design elements that make it well worth checking out if you’re looking for an app to record your thoughts on a daily basis.
